KEARNEY AT SEVEN PINES.
BY E. Q. sTEDMAN.

So that soldierly legend is still on its Journey
That story of Kearney, who knew not to yield.
Twas that day with jameson, fierce Berry and
Brney
Where the red vollies poured, where the clamor
rose highest,
Where the dead lay in clumps mid the dwarf
oaks and pine,
Where the aim from the thicket was surest and
highest.
No charge like Phil Kearncy s along the whole
line.
When the battle went i'll, and the bravest were
solemn,
Near the dark Seven Pines, where we still held
our ground,
He rode down the line of the whitening column.
And his heart at our war cry leaped up at the
bound.
He snuffod like his charger the wind of the
powder,
His sword waved us on and we answered the
sign,
Loud our cheer as we charged, but his laugh
rang the louder
There's the devils own fun, boys, along the
whole line"
How he strobe his brown steed! How we saw
his blade brighten,
In the one hand still left and with reins in his
teeth!
He laughed like a boy when the holidays
But soldiers glance shst from his visor be-
meath.
Up came Birneys reserves to the voley in
fernal,
Asking where to go in, through the clearing or
pine
"oh, anywhere! Forward! Tis all the same,
colonel,
There's the devils own fun along the whole
tine"
Oh coil the black shroud of night at Chantilly
That hid him from the sight of his brave men
and tried!
Foul, foursped the bullet that clipped the white
lily,
The flower OF our knighthood, our whole
army's pride.
Yet we dream That be is still in the shadowy
region
Where the dead from their ranks at the wan
drummers sign
Rides on, as of old, down the length of his
legion,
And his word stilI is Forward. along the
whole aine. !"

Morks; that it has as a consequence, larg 3
| ~ increased the public expenditure and
the public debt, and thus imposed upon
the people heavy burdens for practically
unrenumeratiye investments. The con-
struction of the Inter-colonial aud Pacific
Railways and the enlargement of the Wei
land and st. Lawrence canals are given
| as illustrations of this policy. They are
referred to, sneerlngly, as those invest
ments in patriotism which are such an
important part of the terms of confede-
| ration" The people of Canada have no
objection to their public works being
described as investments in patriotism;
they have been undertaken for the ievel
opment of the country; they have result
ed In its development, and have thus been
the oatcome of the best form of patriot
ism. Without them a united Canada
would have been an impossible achieve
nert. They are not, or rather they were
not,ln their inception questions of party
controversy, both the great political par.
ties being res ponsible for them. The
Inter chlenial railway was regarded as a
work of Importance before confedera-
ton was seriously talked of as an event
of the very near future. The public men
o. the old provinces of Canada. New
Brunswick and Nova Scotra, some years
before confederation, and acting under
imperial guidence, had arranged terms
for the construction of this railway as an
imperative condition of their existance
as independent communities wing allie
glance to the Britishcrown. The enlarge
ment of the canals requires no defense
with Intelligent American readers. Long
before the union of the provinces was
dreamed of, as practical question:; long
before even the cid union of Upper and
Lower Canada was accom- plished, these
canals we've undertaken as great COM
mercial necessity. The last of these
Investments in patriotism is the Cana
dian Pacific Railway. But that work
was necessity of the position of Cana
da as practically independent commun-
ity upon this For4h American continent.
The hope of the statesmen of Canada
who brought about the union of the pro-
vinces in 1877 was united British Amer
lea. That was not the hope of one party
IN the state. but, pith very few exceptions
of both partiee. One of the most elo,
quent of the defenders of the union; one
of the most earnest of the advocates for
its extension from ocean to ocean, was
the late George Brown. at the time the
Ieauer Oh the Lloe-al party In Canaoa.
The acquisition of the great northwest
territories extending from Lake Supe-
rior to the eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains, wos accomplished by the
direct action, it is true, of the Conser-
vative party, but with the acquiscence
and in accordance with the policy of the
Liberal party. And in addition of Brit
ish Columbia, giving to the confederacy
Pacific as well as an Atlantic seaboard,
was matter of tremendous consequence
for the future of the Dominion. To Sc
cure that addition the construction of
the Canadian Pacific Railway was a ne
cessity.

The Honesty OF Women.
Harper'S Bazaar.

Women are being employed more and
more as book-keepers and cashiers, and
one avowed ground of this employment
is that they are more honest than men.
PROFESSIONALLY they are so up to this
time, and it is probable that they will
have some permanent advantage in that
way. Their moral instincts are some
what higher and their temptations less on
the side of perilous indulgeHces. But it
has been pointed out more than once by
the more cautious friends of women that
a good deal of the present moral advan-
tages of that sex in matters of honesty
comes simply from inexperience. They
have hitherto had so little to CO
with the direct handling of money that
they regard it with more reverence than
men the bare thought of an ilregularity
alarms them, the conscience is wholly
fresh and sensitive, they can not CON
ceive how a person can wrong another
out of dime and live. Moreover, they
overate the difficulties and perils conse-
ouent on wrong doing. A young book
keeper told me once that whenever her
accounts failed to balance, if it were only
by single cent she felt as if police-
man were just coming in at the door. II
is as we find to be the case with lending
money-any prudent person would rather
lend it to woman than to man, because
he knows that the chance of payment is
greater. In the present state of society
debt of So seems tremendous affair to
woman and very small affair to a man
but let that woman borrow and repay a
few times and the fine edge of sensibility
begins TO wear Off, precisely as it does
with man, but more slowly.

A Hungarian Beauty Show.

Beauty shows are by no means an
Americon invention. 1t is not more than
few weeks ago that such show occurred
on the feast of st. Stephen, the patron
saint of Hungaria, at Pesth. But the
beauties were not from the start on ex-
hibltlon for any one able to pay dime
The beauties, forty odd in number, were
standing in a circle to be looked at and
cross examined by jury composed of q
number of gentlemen moving in the
highest circles of society.
The chairman, Count Stephen Karolyi
announced the verdict of that strange
jury, declaring Miss Gizzella Schloes,
Miss Ida Toronyi and Mrs. Mariska 10
los to be the greatest beauties of the land
this year. The former is described as a
splendid figure, tall, we'll proportional
and little voluptuous, with blue eyes
and shining golden hair, dressed in a
charming pink suit. The othe- two are
are dark beauties, with black hair and
fiery black eyes. The awards are dupli-
Gates of the golden apple awarded by
Paris of Troy to the goddess of beauty
some three thousand years ago, but in the
degenerate northern climate of Hungary
the apple has become much stunted In
growth, being now not much larger than
little hazelnut. After delivery of the
verdict and distribution of the prizes in
closed in cases of blue velvet to the three
champion beauties the populace were SO
eager to obtain a look at them that they
broke through the fence and formed a
living but rather unruly circle around
the three and, not satisfied with looks
only, they persisted in being convinced
of the feshy reality of the marvels until
anumber of more sober and good natured
gentlemen formed a. guard of honor
around the beauties and conducted them
in safety from their field of victory.

Texan Law.

met an old judge the other day who
has been here since 1852. He remem-
bers the time when the alcalde had to
approve of all the sentences for often
ses, and tells of one occasion when tn ey
hanged a man and then submitted their
action to the alcalde for his approval.
He is full of stories of the days when
the code was mixed one, and he re-
lates how a man was tried for selling Il
horse which had been intrusted to keep.
The lawyer against him was a Texan
Look here,'' said he, 1.-The Texas
laws just as good the New York law.
Let us punish this man according to

Anything for change. The jury
found the prisoner guilty by Texan law.
The charge had been simple breach of
trust, but the Texan law made it horse
stealing, and hOrse-stealing there was
punishable by hanging. Nothing re-
manned for the Judge but to sentence
the man to be hanged. They settled it
afterward by making the prisoner pay
the value of the horse. But it was a
narrow escape.-San Francisco ChrOn-

The Capital quotes Major Sims, sec
retary of the state board of agriculture,
is saying that reports received from
various parts of the state lead him to
believe that the wheat crop has been
damaged to some extent, because the
rain did not come in time; however,
there have been good rains all over the
state recently, and he thinks the out
look for wheat is now very good. He
says that oats are heading out short
and will not yield a full crop. The
damage by chinch bugs has not been
very serious so far; the recent rains
did much to kill them off.-Kdnsds
